A New Captain, A New Posse

[ABitOfVittle]

In the past, Serenity's Captains have each been tasked with a duty. A Expectation. To use their innate abilities, their skill sets, and their strengths to form designated Squads beneath their commands.  Each, seeking to strengthen Serenity in their own way. A Vanguard, A Defender, a Teacher. But, the time has passed. The duty of one, comes to a close--and with that, a new Captain as taken their place. Going forward, Cletus Klein has accepted the duty of Captainship with the support of Rued Silvanas. Of course, with that duty; one must wonder where the once-outsider plans to use his Skillset. Neither a 'Hero of the West' nor a 'Stoneguard', nor any such grandeur titles. 

Such would be answered in the coming days, as a large amount of documents seem to be exhumed from dusty, old chests; empty offices, and thenceforth. All of it directed into the Klein's residence--with no shortage of issued transfers. Soldiers removing their thick armor and heavy blades; for dark cloaks and sleeve-borne daggers.  Thankfully, this dire sight is not left without explanation; as the oft' quiet Klein does well to make his message clear to the people of Serenity.

Who am I? Do you know? You know me, don't you? Cletus Klein. Resident Handyman, Resident Gunslinger. And now, Resident Captain. But what else do you know about me? Do you know from where I hail; for what I believe in, beyond the upholding of duty? Where I fall flat, or where my strengths lie? Do you know what I want; more the anything? Or my greatest fear?

Maybe you do know at least some of these answers.

Now, what if I asked the same of our enemies? Of the Demons, in our hills? What makes them tick? How they fight? Where they fall flat, or truly exceed in the realms of danger? How about in what corners they hide, or what derelict few mortals decide to cohort with them for their own gain? Maybe it isn't demons at all, but a new threat? Untapped resources, unseen lands, shadowed aggressors that require a equally shaded hand to meet them?

Do you not think yourself a warrior? I sure don't. I'm just a man, with good aim and a sharp brain. But look at me, Captain! I need people, like me. Folks who know how to blend amidst the wild, to slip between the cracks and pick apart the problems that face Serenity. My predecessor believed Force to be the utmost dictator of victor, to hit harder was to win.

Personally, I'd rather know where to hit. And what to avoid. Where to plant a well-laid trap, and when one is coming our way. 
I want, Intelligence.

In my taking of the Seat of Captain, I've promised our good king that we would double our efforts in these areas. To know what threats approach; how those among them crumble? What we can do, make, or prepare to better meet this threat. So those many, who think themselves not as warriors, but still seek to aide in our City's thriving future? Or perhaps, a outsider seeking a second chance as-so I have amidst these dunes?

I would ask you seek me out, to seek out the Duskowl Squad. That we can prepare ourselves for the days ahead. Be they bright, or dark, or simply Dusk.

In the coming days, it seems the newly appointed Captain Klein seeks to format the newly-minted Intelligence Squad of Serenity, and be it standing members of Serenity's forces, or those just starting; he'd seek to open his door to those willing to undertake the less-gilded work of such 'Agencies'.
